Command Lines: Command line details for installation and removal of this software. Details may include available command line arguments and/or public properties.

I had a packaged EXE from the management console that I extracted to get at the MSI files within. Used this command to get things working:

msiexec /i "Symantec Antivirus.msi" /qb /norestart

You can't check the Reboot after installation on this one because LiveUpdate runs automatically afterward, so just add a Restart computer task after Application Installation task item. (If anyone has any ideas around this, message me).

Here are the sample command line options for SEP:

To install unattended without a reboot and a log generated with the name "log.txt":

setup /s /v"/l*v log.txt /qn RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS"

To silently remove email tools from a SEP client:
setup.exe /s /V"REMOVE=EMailTools /qn"

To silently remove the Firewall from a SEP client:
MsiExec.exe /I {product GUID from registry} /qn REMOVE="Firewall"

To silently add the Firewall to a SEP client:
MsiExec.exe /I{product GUID from registry} /qn ADDLOCAL="Firewall"

Also something to note is that the installation package can be actually configured from the Client Install Settings (it doesn't come with much beyond the default by well, default). But you can setup a silent installer, that doesn't update upon installation; thus reducing command line interaction, and your troubleshooting of it if you're testing deployments.

Notes: Shared "notes from the field" covering how to handle the automated installation of this software.

Here's what I used to only install the Anti-virus and anti-spyware components (includes the Outlook plugin, but not the Lotus Notes plugin). Note that the entries in ADDLOCAL are case sensitive.

msiexec.exe /i "symantec antivirus.msi" ADDLOCAL="SAVMain,EMailTools,OutlookSnapin" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress.

In case you also need to get rid of a previous version of SAV, make sure you set these registry keys to 0 if you have password protected uninstalling SAV. I forgot and was getting errors when trying to remove the old version:
HKLM\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security\UsePVUninstallPassword = 0
HKLM\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security\LockUnloadServices = 0
